In their own words
Cloze
Cloze is a relationship-focused CRM that organizes email, meetings, calls, files, notes, messages, and contact activity in one place. It supports Gmail, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 Outlook, iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, Outlook.com, Yahoo!, AOL, and IMAP-enabled email. Email tools include open tracking, reply reminders, reusable templates, mail merge, and scheduled sending. Connections include Google and Microsoft services, Dropbox, Slack, RingCentral, Zapier, Salesforce, Dynamics, HubSpot, and Mailchimp. Cloze offers iPhone, iPad, and Android apps, a Chrome add-on, and an API; public integrations require OAuth 2.0. Its free plan includes contact management and an email inbox. Cloze Pro costs $17 a month billed annually, or $19.99 month-to-month. Business Silver starts at $21 per user per month billed annually. Pro and Business trials last 14 days and do not require credit card details. Cloze says sensitive information such as email, messages, and passwords is encrypted so its employees cannot see user information. Business Platinum adds customizable roles, enforced two-step authentication, export controls, and enterprise single sign-on support.
